3. Let the Monitor continue measuring the clean, wet air until the

temperature in the cell is stable. Look at the print-out of the

average and standard deviation measurements for (1) the water-

vapour and (2) all the other filters. When all these values have

stabilised, calibration measurements do not need to continue.

Continue to the next Step.


4. Press

¿

.

This will cause the results of measurements made with all the

other installed filters to be displayed, for example:

A : µ : 19.34 µV σ : 212 nV 6 39.3°C

PRESS ENTER WHEN RESULTS ARE STABLE

These results have been printed out on the data-log printer. If

they have stabilised continue to the next Step.

5. Repeat step 4 until the signals measured with all the filters have

been displayed, stabilised and been “accepted”.

The text CALCULATING PLEASE WAIT appears on the screen.

The Monitor only uses the last six measurement results when

calculating any calibration factor. The humidity gain factors

calculated during humidity-interference calibration of the filters,

are a measure of the sensitivity of each filter to water-vapour in-

terference.

If any calibration data is uncertain or unacceptable an error message

(marked by an asterisk) will appear on the screen after the

calibration factors have been calculated. Whenever an asterisk is

shown on the screen further information about the condition of the

Monitor can be obtained by pressing INFO.

Chapter 14

lists all the error messages connected with uncertain

calibration results and gives an explanation of their significance so

that you can ascertain what action to take if such messages are

displayed after calibration.

Cross-interference Calibrations

If any gas measured by the installed optical filters absorbs light from

more than one of the installed optical filters, then it is advisable to

calibrate for cross-interference (see

section 12.1

). Cross-
